HRC money and mouth go to HRC

   I'd like to say 'amen' but that implies something is over. Clearly, both HRCs will sail ever onward on the same path.

   I'm still appalled over this Christian Siriano fiasco.

   If I had one wish that could be fulfilled, it would be that Bravo TV and the gay culture that associates with it never existed. It's thoroughly toxic for the development of the gay community.

   When Michael Petrelis "tracks" the money from top people at HRC, who is he talking about? A select group he hand picks?

   The Board of Directors?
   The Board of Governors?
   The Foundation Board?

   And Andrew Sullivan should talk. Exactly what contribution has he made? It's easy to sit back and second guess every move with nothing to loss.

   Thank you Sully, our lives are so much better now that you have graced us with your presence.

   I don't know who Christian Siriano is, but I doubt very many transgender people could afford his tshirts. We also cannot afford HRC

   It's gotten to the point that finding something to gig the HRC with is like hunting with baited field. It's so easy all the sport is gone.

   Now this is the same Andrew Sullivan, Head Cheerleader for the Iraq War, a former Bush man, a former raging Republican until he came down with HIV, a man who then claimed AIDS was a thing of the past, whose hatred for the Clintons is no different than his hatred of liberal gays.......

   This Andrew Sullivan?

   You do understand that Obama chooses not to take money from groups like HRC, so this is nothing more that a continued attempt to bash the Clinton's as it gets this dude more media time.

   Andrew Sullivan has done zilch for the gay community.
   ZILCH. He is the gay Tucker Carlson

   So why don't you Hillary bashers, get a life and move on unless you can figure out what your end game is. At this point the woman can't win for loosing.

   Do you want her to publically flog herself and would you prefer a lethal injection for ALL THIS EVIL she has caused the gay community?

   Worthless non entities make me wanna puke!

   Quote Andrew Sullivan: "Meanwhile, [Joe] Solmonese's record on Capitol Hill is, despite his breathless promises a while back, non-existent."

   
   Andrew dearest, I can't think of a homosexual with less influence than you.

   
   XOXO

   HRC isn't a civil rights organization, its a political action committee that seems not capable of hewing to its stated goals. Why would they give so much money to Hilary Clinton who has stated that she won't repeal DOMA, and zero to Barack Obama who is on record that he will repeal DOMA.

   As far as Hawyer and others - you're attempt to take down commentators such as Sullivan doesn't make sense. It's the worst kind of rhetoric, because you can apply it so widely: If someone doesn't have influence and/or direct involvement in an organization [such as HRC] then they're opinion means nothing.

   That's non-nonsensical. You don't respond to the opinion with anything of interest - you simply state 'what have you done that's any better' and you move on.

   I don't get it, I guess it makes you feel smart.

   Despite the fact that I have been a dues paying, card-carrying member for a number of years now, the HRC has yet to respond to even one of the many letters I have sent them over the years. The only time I hear from them, is when they are fund-raising. Only then do they remember my name and the fact that I am a member.

   In view of Andrew Sullivan's observations which pretty well describe the HRC's lack of effectiveness for championing gay civil rights, I will not be sending them a check at membership renewal time.
